Three Essays on the Spatial Autoregressive Model in Spatial Econometrics
The spatial autoregressive model (SAR) is a standard tool to analyze spatial data. It is of great interest in econometrics because it has a game structure and, therefore, can be interpreted as a reaction function: the outcome or behavior of observations at one location is directly affected by those …

The Simultaneous Spatial Autoregressive Model and Its Application in the Housing and Pharmaceutical Markets
My research focuses on the extension of the spatial autoregressive (SAR) model into a system of simultaneous equations. The resulting new model is useful in studying problems involving multiple networks where individuals are not only linked to members of the same network but also interact with …

Modeling Conditional Heteroskedasticity in Time Series and Spatial Analysis
… investigates heterogeneity in the assessment of spatial dependence by exploring (jointly) two main mechanisms: distributional misspecification and conditional heteroskedasticity. I first derive a simple specification test for spatial autoregressive model using the information matrix (IM) test …

Measuring the impact of network changes by the airlines in the deregulated environment
… is formally included in an economic production model, and system-wide estimates of route production functions are made. The network variable is shown to be an important input in the production process. The model captures the joint product nature of the production process by estimating with a …

Spatial modeling of soil salinity using remote sensing, GIS, and field data
… information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial modelling techniques. Com and alfalfa crops were selected as indicators of soil salinity during 2001 and 2004 respectively. Five images were acquired from Aster, Ikonos, and Landsat to check the correlation between measured soil salinity and …

Essays on Bank Spatial Competition, Stability and Resolution
This thesis empirically examines bank spatial competition, stability, and resolution. It is comprised of three empirical studies that investigate risk-return dynamics from three different aspects within the rural banking setting of Indonesia from 2014 to 2018. The specific focus is on bank …

Gender inequality and food security in a changing climate: a spatial analysis using Nigerian general household survey
This study investigates the spatial and gender dynamics of food insecurity in Nigeria, a country besieged by rising inequality and climatic vulnerabilities. The thesis estimates and analyses how climate-related risk differentials influences both genders, especially women with particular interest on …

Three Essays in Housing Economics
… on house price: the first chapter studies spatial correlation of house prices at the state level; the second chapter studies the effect of house price on marital stability of individual families in the United States, and the last chapter studies the impact of house price on homeowners' debt …

Essays on testing spatial models
… multiplier (LM) tests) for different types of spatial models. The models studied in this thesis include a spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) model and a nonlinear SAR (NSAR) model. The proposed test is aiming to solve model selection problems. Chapter 1,""Robust LM tests for spatial dynamic …

Three essays in spatial econometrics
A focus on location and spatial interaction has recently gained a more central place not only in applied econometrics but also in theoretical econometrics. The standard econometric techniques often fail in the presence of spatial autocorrelation, which is commonplace in geographic (cross-sectional) …

An empirical study of attitudes towards green urban development
This study focuses on how spatial circumstances affect property owners’ preference toward sustainable urban development, in the form of three-essays. In the first essay, property owners’ preference toward the concept of compact development is identified. Compact development is an increasingly …

Social disorganisation theory and violent crime: A spatial-econometric analysis of Chicago and Sydney
The spatialisation of violent crime is explored in two large case studies, Chicago and Sydney, using spatial econometric methods and macro-sociological variables derived from Social Disorganisation Theory. Social Disorganisation Theory (SDT) is introduced in terms of its formulation in response to …

Essays in Spatial Econometrics: Estimation, Specification Test and the Bootstrap
… three chapters covering the following topics in spatial econometrics: estimation, specification and the bootstrap.</p><p>In Chapter 1, we first generalize an approximate measure of spatial dependence, the APLE statistic in Li et al (2007), to a spatial Durbin (SD) model. This generalized APLE …
